Vibrant Performance 12852 Vertical Flow Intercooler Core, 27 x 6 x 4.5 in, Aluminum

The Vibrant Performance 12852 Vertical Flow Intercooler Core is designed for custom forced-induction applications that require efficient charge-air cooling and flexible installation options. Its vertical-flow configuration supports consistent airflow through the core while helping reduce intake air temperatures, making it a practical choice for performance street vehicles, race cars, trucks, and custom engine builds. The aluminum construction provides a strong balance of durability, heat transfer capability, and manageable weight for fabrication-focused projects.
The core features a natural aluminum finish and is supplied as an individual unit, allowing builders to integrate it into a wide range of intercooler systems. Its compact rectangular profile is well suited to custom piping layouts, engine swaps, turbocharger upgrades, and other applications where a universal intercooler solution is preferred. The Vibrant Performance design can be paired with fabricated end tanks, mounting brackets, and appropriately sized charge piping to create a complete application-specific system.
Built for enthusiasts, fabricators, and performance professionals, the Vibrant Performance 12852 offers a dependable foundation for improving charge-air management without requiring a vehicle-specific fitment. Always verify available installation space, inlet and outlet positioning, airflow direction, and piping requirements before fabrication. This intercooler core is not restricted for air shipment and does not require truck freight, helping simplify handling during project planning and installation.
